The best of Waiheke Island
Waiheke Island is a true island paradise off the coast of Auckland with world class vineyards and exceptional food.
Our team loves visiting farmers markets around New Zealand to discover the best local products. After a weekend trip to Waiheke’s Ostend market (hence the name Weekend in Waiheke), we immediately went to work and put together a gift box for you to enjoy.

What do you send to family in Auckland - a "we love local" box of course! Really appreciated by the recipients with all the little extra touches - so well presented with a beautifully written card. And such friendly service.
